1 Tutorial Creating a new derived CPM Software version: Asanti 3.0 Document version: March 28, 2019 This tutorial is based upon basic knowledge on CPM s, please consult the online tutorial Calibrated Printing Modes available from the Asanti Network! A Calibrated Printing Mode (CPM) is a quality resource that is associated with the 3 major ingredients of a job: the printer that will be used to print it, the media on which it will be printed and the desired quality of the printed result. Asanti comes with default installed CPM's for Generic media, these are originally made on a bright standard media. They have a big color gamut which makes them very suitable as base CPM to derive new CPM s from. New CPM's can be created starting from an existing CPM (=base CPM ) using the CPM Wizard. It's strongly advised to use the Generic CPMs as base. 1. Creating a derived CPM In the jobs overview, context click on the digital press. Open the Media Hub. Select File > New Media, give the new media a recognisable name (e.g. Tutorial) Select File > New Calibrated Print Mode. Page 1
2 Step 1 - CPM setup and configuration Step 1 Choose CPM Parameters or Link the Parameters Select your Printer. Select the new media that you created in step 2. Select the Quality e.g. High Quality. By default, only the Agfa certified CPM's will be displayed (Show Agfa certified CPMs only). Enable Base the new CPM on an existing one for faster creation. Select a base CPM (e.g. HighQ 8P Bi 1016x1200 APS 6C). Enable "Support printing color on media" to support direct printing of color on the media substrate (without prewhite). Activate (if not) the Standard Calibration (no G7). Click Next to proceed. The amount of possibilities (media, white, primer, varnish ) depend on the capabilities of the base CPM. It is for example not possible to derive an on white CPM when there is no white information available in the base CPM. On the left pane on overview is give of the different steps that need to be done to complete the CPM. A green indicates that the step is finished. Page 2
3 Step 2 Calibrate to base CPM. Select Change Instrument from the cogwheel when NO INSTRUMENT SELECTED is shown in the instrument pane. Select your measuring device e.g. EyeOne Pro 2. Select Calibrate Instrument from the cogwheel (EyeOne). Click Print. The print target window will be displayed. The output size can be changed (this will rearrange the targets automatically). The print options with offset and media thickness is only useful for Jeti Titan devices. The wedge (ID strip and Calibration target) is automatically processed by Asanti and dispatched to the press after clicking OK. Change the number of measurements per row to 1. Click Measure and measure the ID strip. Afterwards measure the Calibration target. Each successfully measured row will receive a green state when completed (measure the row again when the red state stays visible)... Measurements can be reset, deleted or exported by context clicking on the wedges. It might happen that a warning Calibration Failed is posted. This means that the reference values for calibration from the base CPM cannot be reached with the new media type. Click OK to replace the reference calibration values with the actual measured values. Once all measurements are done a graph with the actual tonal behavior is generated (the dashed lines are the reference end Page 3
4 values from the base CPM). Click Next to accept and proceed to the next step. Step 3 Overprint Ink Limits. From the Print overprint chart drop down menu select the Default Overprint Chart and click print. The target is dynamically created based on the used ink set (additional orange, green, blue ). Page 4
5 Overprint target: the overprint target contains a series of wedges here gradually ink is increased. Judging this printed chart is a matter of finding the right limitation to avoid print problems. Eventually use a sclerometer or something else to test the durability against scratches. Choose for each wedge the best level (higher level = banding, drying issues, scratches ) and update the overprint limits. Click next once finished. The limitations set on this target are virtual which means that they do not have any influence in the previous set limitations on the pure ink. They are taken into account when creating the profile in the next step. A TAC is determined to select a good profiling target. Page 5
6 Step 4 Create Profile A profile can be created based on a full target or a limited target. The full target will create a completely new profile for this CPM. A limited target will intelligently combine the measured results of a small target with the profile of the base CPM. The new profile will then be created while combining these measurements with the base CPM profile. Select Limited Target and click Print. Do not make any changes in the Print Target dialog and click OK. Print the target. Notice that the limited target uses a significant amount of neutral grey patches. The grey balance will be used to match the base profile with the new media. Click Measure to start measuring the ID strip and the Profile target. Click Create Profile when all rows have been successfully measured. Click Next to proceed to the final step. Step 5 CPM Quality Report. The CPM Quality report offers a detailed overview on how the newly made CPM will score. Page 1 is about calibration details such as the ink usage while page 2 focusses on how the colors score against a reference profile. Click Finish to complete the CPM. Page 6
7 2. Creating a derived CPM with dedicated white calibration The Media Hub offers the option to add a print on white calibration. This can be a shared calibration (the generic calibration) or a dedicated calibration. In case of a shared calibration the on white from the generic CPM is used. The calibration for on white can normally be used for any media, because the white ink layer has the same color on all media, and will normally also result in the same color gamut. Using shared calibrations for on white is simple: just enable Use generic calibration. This means that only the Generic on white calibration set needs to be calibrated/profiled once and be shared with all derived CPMs with this option active. A dedicated calibration just adds 3 additional steps to the CPM generation wizard: Calibration for on white Ink limits for white Profiling for on white This exercise will learn how to add a dedicated white calibration to a derived CPM. For instructions to generate the on media calibration follow the steps described in exercise 1. Keep in mind that white calibration (shared and dedicated) are only available when the base CPM contains a dedicated on white calibration, and when the ink set of the printer contains white ink. In the jobs overview, context click on the digital press. Open the Media Hub. Select File > New Calibrated Print Mode. Page 7
8 Step 1 CPM setup and configuration Step 1 Choose CPM Parameters or Link the Parameters Select your Printer. Select the Media for which you want to make a CPM. Select the Quality E.g. High Quality. By default, only the Agfa certified CPM's will be displayed. Enable "Support printing color on media" to support direct printing of color on the media substrate. Also enable Support printing color on white and select Include dedicated calibration. Click Next to proceed. Notice the extra steps which are added to the wizard for color on white. Follow Step 3 of the Creating a derived CPM exercise. A second cycle will start when the calibration, ink limitation and profile is set for the on media calibration. The same actions will need to be taken for the dedicated on white calibration. Page 8
9 Step 6 Calibrate to Base CPM The calibration wedge is automatically generated with a white layer. The CPM wedges need to be printed pre-white. Not all engines pick this up automatically (Anapurna/Jeti Titan/Jeti Mira). Configure your engine accordingly. Click Print and Click OK in the "Print Target" dialog. Eventually change media size and positioning if necessary (see previous lesson). Automatically white will be added to all targets (pre-white). The digital press should be configured (if necessary) in such a way that it will print white first followed by color. Click Measure to start measuring the ID strip. Afterwards measure the Calibration target. Each successfully measured row will receive a green state when completed (measure the row again when the red state stays visible)... Measurements can be reset, deleted or exported by context clicking on the wedges. Click Apply Calibration to proceed and click Next. Step 7 Overprint Ink Limits From the Print overprint chart drop down menu select the Default Overprint Chart and click print. The target is dynamically created based on the used ink set. Page 9
10 Overprint target: the overprint target contains a series of wedges here gradually ink is increased. Judging this printed chart is a matter of finding the right limitation to avoid print problems. Eventually use a sclerometer or something else to test the durability against scratches. Choose for each wedge the best level (higher level = banding, drying issues, scratches ) and update the overprint limits. Click next once finished. The limitations set on this target are virtual which means that they do not have any influence in the previous set limitations on the pure ink. They are considered when creating the profile in the next step. A TAC is determined to select a good profiling target. Page 10
11 Step 8 Create Profile. A profile can be created based on a full target or a limited target. The full target will create a completely new profile for this CPM. A limited target will intelligently combine the measured results of a small target with the profile of the base CPM. The new profile will then be created while combining these measurements with the base CPM profile. Select Limited Target and click Print. Do not make any changes in the Print Target dialog and click OK. Print the target. Notice that the limited target uses a significant amount of neutral grey patches. The grey balance will be used to match the base profile with the new media. Click Measure to start measuring the ID strip and the Profile target. Click Create Profile when all rows have been successfully measured. Click Next to proceed to the final step. Step 9 CPM Quality Report. The CPM Quality report offers a detailed overview on how the newly made CPM will score. Page 1 is about calibration details such as the ink usage while page 2 focusses on how the colors score against a reference profile. Click Finish to complete the CPM. Page 11
12 3. CPM with additional varnish Varnish application allows to enhance prints to give the print a more luxury look. The varnish can cover the complete surface or only a part of the print (spot varnish). Applying a varnish layer will result in a different color behavior. The selection of CPM needs to be decided per job. Spot varnish will not need a dedicated varnish CPM while completely covered varnish print may need a dedicated varnish CPM. Creating a CPM with varnish capabilities is very like regular CPM creation. The only difference: varnish need to be enabled and a varnish ink limits target needs to be printed to set the ink limitation. Of course, varnish needs to be present in the active ink set (see configuration wizard from the help menu). Step 1 CPM setup and configuration Initiate a new CPM by selecting following parameters. Select your Printer. Select the Media for which you want to make a CPM. Select the Quality E.g. High Quality. By default, only the Agfa certified CPM's will be displayed. Select a suitable base CPM. The base CPM does not need to have varnish. The varnish color behavior will be integrated in the derived CPM during calibration and profiling of the new CPM. Enable "Support printing color on media" to support direct printing of color on the media substrate. Also enable Support printing varnish and select Calibrate with varnish. The CPM name will receive a - V suffix when enabled. The name can still be changed but it is advised to keep the - V suffix to distinguish varnish and non-varnish CPM s during job throughput. Click Next to proceed. Page 12
13 Step 2 Calibrate to base CPM. Select Change Instrument from the cogwheel when NO INSTRUMENT SELECTED is shown in the instrument pane. Select your measuring device e.g. EyeOne Pro 2. Select Calibrate Instrument from the cogwheel (EyeOne). Click Print. The print target window will be displayed. The output size can be changed (this will rearrange the targets automatically). The print options with offset and media thickness is only useful for Jeti Titan devices. The wedge (ID strip and Calibration target) is automatically processed by Asanti and dispatched to the press after clicking OK. Change the number of measurements per row to 1. Click Measure and measure the ID strip. Afterwards measure the Calibration target. Each successfully measured row will receive a green state when completed (measure the row again when the red state stays visible)... Measurements can be reset, deleted or exported by context clicking on the wedges. In case of varnish there is a big chance a warning Calibration Failed is posted. This means that the reference values for calibration from the base CPM cannot be reached with the new media type (and influenced by the varnish layer. Click OK to replace the reference calibration values with the actual measured values. Page 13
14 Once all measurements are done a graph with the actual tonal behavior is generated (the dashed lines are the reference end values from the base CPM). Click Next to accept and proceed to the next step. Print the target, measure the wedge and apply the calibration. Click Next to proceed. Step 3 Overprint Ink Limits. From the Print overprint chart drop down menu select the Default Overprint Chart and click print. The target is dynamically created based on the used ink set (additional orange, green, blue ). Page 14
15 Overprint target: the overprint target contains a series of wedges here gradually ink is increased. Judging this printed chart is a matter of finding the right limitation to avoid print problems. Eventually use a sclerometer or something else to test the durability against scratches. Choose for each wedge the best level (higher level = banding, drying issues, scratches ) and update the overprint limits. Click next once finished. The limitations set on this target are virtual which means that they do not have any influence in the previous set limitations on the pure ink. They are considered when creating the profile in the next step. A TAC is determined to select a good profiling target. Page 15
16 Step 4 Create Profile A profile can be created based on a full target or a limited target. The full target will create a completely new profile for this CPM. A limited target will intelligently combine the measured results of a small target with the profile of the base CPM. The new profile will then be created while combining these measurements with the base CPM profile. Select Limited Target and click Print. Do not make any changes in the Print Target dialog and click OK. Print the target. Notice that the limited target uses a significant amount of neutral grey patches. The grey balance will be used to match the base profile with the new media. Click Measure to start measuring the ID strip and the Profile target. Click Create Profile when all rows have been successfully measured. Click Next to proceed to the final step. Step 5 CPM Quality Report. The CPM Quality report offers a detailed overview on how the newly made CPM will score. Page 1 is about calibration details such as the ink usage while page 2 focusses on how the colors score against a reference profile. Click Finish to complete the CPM. Page 16
17 4. Creating a derived CPM with a different measurement condition To make substrates look whiter manufacturers add Optical Brighteners Agents (OBA). These agents reflects portions of the UV range into the visible light (fluorescence effect). This has an influence on the quality of the measurement which may cause unwanted color casts. Using a measurement device with an UV cut filter may fix certain casts but in general the results aren t satisfactory. The filters are not standardized and are more a rough way to compensate for the unwanted fluorescence effects. To cope with this matter an international agree standard is released: ISO1655. ISO1655: Spectral measurement and colorimetric computation for graphic arts images The ISO1655 standard standardizes how color measurements needs to be done. To standardize certain combinations (UV or polarization filters) measurement conditions are been introduced. This standardization allows to exchange data from different devices easily. If they use the same measurement condition the results will be the same. This was not the case in the past. Measurement condition m0: the legacy The current measurement condition: no adaptation or unknown. The measurement mode doesn t change anything to the spectral data. The m0 is the most common used practice today (all Apogee supported measurement devices). Should be used for substrates without any OBA s. Measurement Condition m1: the one fits for all The m1 measurement condition is defined to reduce differences in measurements between devices as well as to compensate for the fluorescence effects (substrates or even inks). It is the advised way of measuring if possible. Take care, m1 measurements typically require a double measurement! 2 illuminants need to be used; the spectrophotometers which support m1 automatically calculate the correct spectral data from the different measurements. Measurement Condition m2: UV cut filter Measurements with the m2 factor simulates measurements with a UV-cut filter. These measurements are different from measurement with a physical filter since they use a standardized theoretical UV filter which influences the complete spectral range. Measurement Condition m3: polarization filter. Measurements with the m3 have a physical polarisation filter build in and are usable when measuring glossy surfaces to compensate for reflection erros. Asanti and Calibrated Printing Modes Measurement conditions do have an influence on color reproduction. It is important that the same measurement condition is used during each individual step of the CPM creation process. Page 17
18 Measurement conditions need to be supported by the measurement device. At this moment only the EyeOne pro 2 and the EyeOne io 2 are capable to use measurement conditions. Older devices can still be used but only the m0 measurement condition will be used. The m1 measurement conditions should be if available. Creating a derived CPM with M1 measurement condition The process of creating a derived CPM is almost identical. The wizard contains the same amount of steps but will act slightly different. Especially when the measurement condition from the base CPM is different of the derived one. This lesson will learn how to change measurement conditions and what to do when there is a mismatch in condition between base and derived CPM. All default installed CPMs use the m0 measurement condition. In the jobs overview, context click on the digital press. Open the Media Hub. Select File > New Calibrated Print Mode. Step 1 Choose CPM Parameters or Link the Parameters Select your Printer. Select the Media for which you want to make a CPM. Select the Quality e.g. High Definition. By default, only the Agfa certified CPM's will be displayed. Enable "Support printing color on media" to support direct printing of color on the media substrate (without pre-white). Click Next to proceed. Step 2 Calibrate to base CPM. Select Change Instrument from the cogwheel when NO INSTRUMENT SELECTED is shown in the instrument pane, Select your measuring device e.g. EyeOne. Select Calibrate Instrument from the cogwheel. Page 18
19 In same cogwheel drop down list click Settings In the ISO measuring mode select the M1- DualReflectanceScan mode and click OK to confirm. Now click Print. The print target window will be displayed. The output size can be changed (this will rearrange the targets automatically). The print options with offset and media thickness is only useful for Jeti Titan devices. The wedge (ID strip and Calibration target) is automatically processed by Asanti and dispatched to the press after clicking OK. Click Measure to start measuring the ID strip. A warning will be posted when there is a mismatch between the measurement condition of the base CPM and the newly derived CPM. Click Yes to update the default measurement condition of the new CPM. Afterwards measure the Calibration target. Each successfully measured row will receive a green state when completed (measure the row again when the red state stays visible)... The m1 measurement condition needs 2 measurements per patch/row. Two light sources are used during this cycle: a conventional one and one with a significant amount of UV. This allows to calculate the influence of the OBA s. The EyeOne io 2 measures automatically but proper positioning needs to be cared off. Targets which needs to be measured m1 needs to be positioned as right as possible against the black line of the IO table (beyond this line no measurements are possible). The positioning itself needs to be properly in the center of the patches. Each row is measured twice but the head will lightly move between 2 measurements. The EyeOne Pro 2 handheld needs to be measured from left to right (right indicator will light blue) and a second time from right to left (left indicator will light blue). Only after this 2 nd measurement you may proceed to the next line. Click Apply Calibration to proceed and click Next. Step 3 - setting the ink limits. see step 3 of exercise-1 Step 4 Create Profile see step-4 of exercise 1 to finalize the CPM. Pay attention: depending on the preferences of the client (earlier measurements) the measurement condition may be not in sync with the calibration. The client will post a warning to change the condition if this isn t the case. Page 19
